Podcasts about fbi profiler

Julia Cowley, a retired FBI profiler and the host of The Consult podcast, and I set out to discuss the University of Idaho murders and the killer of four college students, Bryan Kohberger. But something strange happened when we began discussing the survivors who were in the house.It was during a week when a beloved podcaster, friend, and researcher for this podcast died. In this emotionally charged bonus, we explore grief, trauma, and the importance of kindness within the true crime community and in life. Our conversation touches on how loss, children and age have changed the way we view true crime stories.NOTE: In July 2025, those roommates, Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, broke their silence at Kohberger's sentencing in the murders of 20-year-olds Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, and 21-year-olds Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen.

In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, someone entered a house just off the University of Idaho campus in a brazen home invasion that left four University of Idaho students — Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves — dead. Julia Cowley, a retired FBI profiler and host of The Consult podcast, joins me to continue on conversation about what we can learn from the behavior of the real-life nightmare that is the suspect, Bryan Kohberger.Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.comCheck out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookJoin our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-storeVisit The True Crime Times Substack at:https://truecrimemessenger.substack.comThe Silver Linings Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.

What do a murdered judge in rural Kentucky and a teenage girl found dead in a Tesla in Los Angeles have in common? Power. Silence. And the terrifying psychology of what happens when no one speaks up—until it's too late. In this special Hidden Killers hour, we're joined by Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, to break down two high-profile cases where power dynamics, manipulation, and narrative control aren't just side plots—they're the main event.

And the terrifying psychology of what happens when no one speaks up—until it's too late. In this special Hidden Killers hour, we're joined by Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, to break down two high-profile cases where power dynamics, manipulation, and narrative control aren't just side plots—they're the main event.

A teenage girl is found dead in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to a rising music star. She was never reported missing. The car sat in public view for weeks. And when the body was discovered—there was no statement. No arrests. No public outrage. Just silence. On today's episode of Hidden Killers, we're joined by Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, to dissect what that silence really means. This isn't just a case of tragedy—it's a case of narrative control. From the decision to place Celeste Rivas Hernandez's body in the front trunk of a Tesla, to the legal firepower that arrived before any charges were filed, to the digital vanishing acts and cancelled appearances, every move—or lack of one—is behavior that tells a deeper story. Dreeke walks us through critical psychological insights: What does it mean when a person shows both concealment and carelessness? Why does someone lawyer up fast but never speak for themselves? How does celebrity and charisma protect people from scrutiny—even when a child is found dead? And what does the absence of a missing persons report tell us about the people around Celeste—and the man whose car she was found in? This conversation unpacks power dynamics, grooming patterns, reputation management tactics, and the chilling reality of what happens when truth is optional and image is everything. If you've been watching this case and wondering why no one is saying anything—this episode breaks the silence. Robin Dreeke provides expert behavioral analysis that cuts through the PR and goes straight to the human behavior beneath it.

FBI Profiler Breaks Down Diddy's Letter & Jailhouse Class Strategy What does a plea for mercy sound like when it's written by one of the most powerful figures in entertainment—and what does it reveal beneath the surface? In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, we're joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to break down the full letter Sean “Diddy” Combs sent to the judge ahead of sentencing. It's a letter full of remorse, spiritual language, and a plea for second chances—but is it sincere, or is it tactically engineered for a court that's seen it all? Dreeke analyzes the behavioral language line by line—what's genuine, what raises red flags, and how high-profile offenders often craft letters as part of reputation management strategies, not just repentance. Then we turn to "Free Game with Diddy", the jailhouse course Combs says he developed for inmates. Is it a story of redemption and leadership? Or another layer of narrative control from a man who built an empire on charisma and influence? From emotional manipulation to calculated timing, Robin Dreeke breaks down the psychological blueprint of power, guilt, and self-preservation behind bars. Watch, listen, and decide for yourself: Is Diddy evolving—or performing?

Who Is Diddy in Jail? FBI Profiler Analyzes the Man, the Myth, the Manipulator Can a man who spent decades controlling the narrative really just let it go? Or is his latest apology another chapter in the myth of Diddy? In this Hidden Killers Live exclusive, retired FBI Special Agent and behavioral expert Robin Dreeke joins host Tony Brueski to dissect Diddy's letter to the judge—a raw, emotional plea that might not be as raw or emotional as it seems. Line by line, we examine what the letter says, what it means, and what it might be trying to do. Then we look at Free Game with Diddy, the six-week prison class Combs now teaches in jail. He says it's changed his life—and changed others'. But when former gang members, counselors, and inmates start writing letters of praise to support a sentencing request, we have to ask: Is this leadership—or leverage? Robin Dreeke brings real-world experience from inside the FBI's behavioral programs to offer insight on: Charisma as a social weapon Image construction under legal pressure The difference between true transformation and high-stakes storytelling In court, your words matter. In prison, your behavior does. But in the public eye? It's all about what sticks.

FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Tunnel Vision That Ruined the Yogurt Shop Case With the Yogurt Shop murders solved, the real question becomes: what now? In this final segment, I and Robin Dreeke map out the reforms that actually matter—not symbolic ones, but structural, enforceable changes that protect truth, not narratives. We dig into: Interview design: swapping coercion for information‑gathering (PEACE-style), mandating full video, limiting session lengths, guarding vulnerable subjects Raising charging thresholds: never charge on confession alone—triangulate with physical evidence and independent corroboration Institutional red teams: formal skepticism baked into every major case Ethical limits on genealogical DNA use: how and when it should be used, how to document decision points Accountability for leadership: public commitments, timelines, and enforcement Why this matters: naming the killer is only step one. If we don't fix what went wrong, future cases will repeat the same tragedies. This segment is the roadmap for justice that lasts beyond headlines. #CriminalJusticeReform #TrueCrime #PoliceReform #ColdCasePolicy #InterviewEthics #DNAForensics #InvestigativeBestPractices #NoMoreFalseConfessions #RedTeamPolicing #FutureOfCrimeSolving #YogurtShopMurders Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4VD Death Investigation: She Had His Tattoo. Then She Was Found in His Car. FBI Profiler Weighs In. Celeste Rivas and D4vd reportedly had matching “Shhh…” tattoos on their index fingers. That detail alone opens a disturbing window into power dynamics, secrecy, and control. In this segment, FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke joins me to unpack the non-forensic evidence that tells a story: matching tattoos, digital closeness, and the decision to wrap Celeste's body in plastic and hide her in the trunk of a car. These choices speak volumes. We explore:  – How adult predators often mark their victims with shared symbols—tattoos, jewelry, even lyrics  – Why body concealment is one of the clearest indicators of post-crime psychological strategy  – What it suggests when someone abandons a vehicle with a wrapped body inside  – And how grooming over time leads to psychological dependency, isolation, and silence This isn't just about a car and a body. It's about behavioral control over a vulnerable teenager and a trail of choices that don't add up to innocence. As of now, no one has been arrested. The cause of death is pending. But these behavioral markers raise serious, unanswered questions. You can't ignore the patterns. Because predators rely on everyone else doing just that.

FBI Profiler On Charlie Kirk Killer & The #1 Cause of Lone Wolf Radicalization The assassination of Charlie Kirk was a shot heard around the world, leaving a nation asking: how could a seemingly normal 22-year-old commit such a heinous act? In this gripping segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins the Hidden Killers team to dissect the root cause of this tragedy. This isn't just another true crime recap; it's a masterclass in behavioral analysis from one of the world's leading experts. Robin Dreeke argues that the core of the problem lies in a societal "death of curiosity." He introduces the Socratic method—a form of cooperative dialogue based on questioning one's own beliefs—as a fundamental tool for civil discourse that has been almost entirely lost. The hosts explore how generational shifts in communication, fueled by the isolation of social media, have created dangerous echo chambers. In these digital spaces, young, impressionable minds are fed dogma instead of being taught to question it, preventing them from seeking wisdom and perspective outside their own inexperienced peer groups. This is a crucial look at the psychological framework that allows online radicalization to fester, turning disaffected youths into lone wolf killers. This analysis is essential for understanding the forces that led to this national tragedy.

FBI Profiler on Kirk's Assassin, Hoffman's Depravity & Walshe's Google History This is the complete, must-see episode of Hidden Killers, providing in-depth analysis of three of the most disturbing cases making headlines. The show opens with an exclusive interview with retired FBI behavioral analysis chief Robin Dreeke, who delivers a masterclass on the psychology of the lone wolf assassin who targeted Charlie Kirk. Dreeke dissects the root causes of modern radicalization, from the societal death of curiosity to the isolating echo chambers of social media that breed extremism. The broadcast then transitions to the shocking case of Jordan and Harley Hoffman, a picture-perfect Florida couple whose curated online life hid an alleged world of unspeakable depravity involving child SA material and horrific acts with animals. The team explores the dark side of social media and the psychology behind such a jarring public-private disconnect. Finally, the show meticulously breaks down the murder of Ana Walshe by her narcissistic husband, Brian Walshe. We uncover his long history of fraud and manipulation and reveal the damning digital footprint that became his undoing. You'll hear the complete, chilling list of his Google searches on how to dismember and dispose of a body, creating an undeniable timeline of a cold-blooded crime. From expert FBI profiling to the grim realities of modern crime, this episode is a comprehensive and compelling look at the darkness that hides in plain sight.

FBI Profiler Reveals Twisted Mother-Son Bond Between Donna & Charlie Adelson The most disturbing part of the Donna Adelson case isn't just the murder. It's her deeply unhealthy emotional grip on her son, Charlie. In this final chapter of our four-part interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke helps us unpack the enmeshed, codependent dynamic that may have fueled a murder-for-hire plot. We explore the psychology of emotional incest—not sexual, but psychological—and how Donna used fear, guilt, and lifelong programming to keep her son obedient into his 40s. This was no ordinary mother-son relationship. This was psychological domination dressed up as maternal love. Robin walks us through the patterns of grooming, control, and total emotional fusion that made Charlie the perfect foot soldier for a plan he may not have even questioned. We talk about Wendy's role, Harvey's absence, and the chilling possibility that this family has been living in Donna's shadow for decades. This isn't just a crime—it's a generational collapse. And now, the entire Adelson empire is falling apart, one testimony at a time. Subscribe for more expert analysis, only on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski.

The FULL Donna Adelson Extravaganza: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Dissects Donna, Wendy & Charlie Adelson's Narcissistic Lives In this explosive deep dive, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins Hidden Killers Live to unravel the tangled psychology of the Adelson family. At the center of this discussion: Donna Adelson's obsessive control, Charlie Adelson's dangerous insecurities, and Wendy Adelson's revealing slip-ups that pointed investigators toward a murder-for-hire plot. The episode begins with comparisons between Jackie Fulford, Donna's so-called “doppelgänger attorney,” and the broader Adelson pattern of surrounding themselves with mirrors of their own self-image. Dreeke describes this as the classic “echo chamber” — a family environment where validation replaces reality, breeding narcissism, paranoia, and control. From there, the conversation turns to the police interrogation of Dr. Jeffrey Lacoste, Wendy Adelson's ex-boyfriend. His testimony is not only haunting but also deeply telling. Lacoste recalls Wendy confiding that her brother Charlie had “looked into options” for getting rid of Dan Markel. He describes Charlie openly talking about money, hitmen, and how much it would cost — chilling disclosures that made Charlie the first suspect to enter his mind when news of Dan's murder broke. Robin Dreeke dissects Lacoste's credibility, noting his remarkable memory for dates, his consistent disclosure tempo, and his vulnerability as a man still under Wendy's spell. Dreeke explains how narcissistic family systems thrive on manipulation, impulsivity, and a desperate need for external validation — traits seen across Donna, Wendy, and Charlie. The discussion also explores Charlie Adelson's bizarre associations with Green Berets, criminal circles, and the Latin Kings, questioning why a wealthy dentist would gravitate toward such company. Dreeke suggests this was Charlie's way of masking insecurity, rebelling against his mother's dominance, and fabricating an image of power. This is not just a story of one murder — it's a case study in how toxic family dynamics, unchecked narcissism, and impulsive decisions can escalate into tragedy.

"Mind Over Murder" podcast hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley meet with former FBI Profiler (and producer and writer) Jim Clemente to discuss the parole process for the 3 men convicted in mass kidnapping of 26 elementary school students and their bus driver in rural Chowchilla, California.  The crime, the largest mass kidnapping in United States history, shocked the nation in 1976.  Should the 3 kidnappers have served longer?  How was the trauma of the 26 young victims taken into account if at all?  We also catch up all of the projects that Jim has been working on as a writer and producer.CrimeCon:  We're going to CrimeCon again, folks!

Jim Clemente, a retired FBI supervisory special agent and criminal behavioral analysis expert had some interesting things to say to Fox news about who this suspect might be and what might have motivated them to commit these horrible murders. In this episode, we take a look at what Mr. Clemente had to say and discuss the profile that he says will likely match the killer.Let's dive in!(commercial at 9:09)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.foxnews.com/us/idaho-coed-killer-fbi-profiler-reveals-suspects-likely-attributesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

THE STARE: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Devil's Den Killer's Predatory Behavior When multiple witnesses say the same thing—that the man on the trail looked through them, not past them—you start to realize the killer wasn't just walking... he was scanning. In this episode, former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to analyze the haunting body language and decision-making of the man believed to have killed Clinton and Cristen Brink. What does that death-stare mean? Was he just assessing threats, or choosing victims? Dreeke dives deep into the behavioral cues—how the killer's intense gaze, oversized tactical-style bag, and heat-inappropriate clothing all point to someone on a mission. But was the Brinks' murder pre-targeted or opportunistic? Was this planned for days, or did something flip in real time? This isn't criminal profiling 101—it's a forensic look at the subtle but revealing signals that most people miss. And one line—“Why are you doing this?”—may be the most telling clue yet about whether this was personal… or projection.

Inside the Mind of Asa Ellerup: FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Gilgo Beach Killer's Home Life In this special full-length edition of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by Robin Dreeke—retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—for a masterclass in psychological profiling, emotional survival, and the terrifying ease with which evil can thrive inside a family home. Together, they dissect the marriage between Asa Ellerup and accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann. Through footage from Peacock's documentary, The Gilgo Beach Killer: Secrets of a Serial Killer, Robin examines Asa's emotional patterns, her lack of curiosity, and what her devotion may reveal about how Rex was able to live a double life for decades without raising alarm. From their earliest days together—when Rex “saved” Asa from a difficult divorce—to the secret gun vault in the basement she never questioned, every detail is unpacked through the lens of behavioral science. Why did Asa never ask what her husband did during those long weekends alone? Why did she trust him so completely, even when DNA evidence tied her family to the victims? We also explore the conflicted voice of Victoria Heuermann, their daughter, who is caught between love and revulsion. Like Kerri Rawson, daughter of BTK, Victoria must now reconcile the man who built her a dollhouse with the man now accused of horrific crimes. Robin Dreeke breaks down how manipulation, grooming, denial, and emotional projection form the perfect storm for long-term concealment—and how that storm unraveled in one Long Island household. This isn't just about a killer. It's about the people who lived with him. And what they may have known—or refused to see.   Hashtags: #RexHeuermann #AsaEllerup #VictoriaHeuermann #GilgoBeach #FBIProfiler #RobinDreeke #PeacockDocumentary #SerialKillerWife #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

“He Saved Us” — Or Did He? Gilgo Killer's Wife, Asa Ellerup's Love Story Examined by FBI Profiler In Segment 2 of our deep-dive into the Gilgo Beach case, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke turn their focus to the beginning — the origin story of Asa Ellerup and Rex Heuermann's relationship. What started as an act of kindness during Asa's divorce quickly evolved into a lifelong partnership built, perhaps, on imbalance. She was young, vulnerable, in need of support. He was strong, stable, and offered her something she desperately craved: a sense of family and emotional safety. But beneath that surface — according to experts and prosecutors — may have been something else entirely. Robin Dreeke examines the early dynamics of Asa and Rex's bond, including key psychological indicators of emotional grooming, dependency, and how empathy can be weaponized by manipulators. Using real behavioral science and decades of field experience, Dreeke breaks down why Rex may have been drawn to Asa—not out of love, but for how perfectly she fit into the hidden life he needed to maintain. We also explore the concept of “lack of curiosity,” a recurring behavioral trait Dreeke believes allowed Rex to operate in plain sight. This episode dissects key parts of the Peacock documentary that showcase Asa's perspective on her marriage, the home they shared, and the vault of secrets that sat quietly beneath their feet. If you're interested in the psychological mechanisms predators use to stay hidden—and the painful cost to the people closest to them—this segment offers a hauntingly clear window into how it all begins.  Hashtags: #GilgoBeach #AsaEllerup #RexHeuermann #FBIProfiler #TrueCrimePodcast #RobinDreeke #EmotionalGrooming #SerialKillerPsychology #HiddenKillers #PeacockDocumentary Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
